Starting from the river spring, located at about 20 km to the south, south/west of Demir Kapija, below the highest point of Kozuv mountain, down to Demir Kapija, there is no population along the river course. At the very emptying point of Doshnitsa river at Demir Kapija, the river forms natural pools.

Popova Kula vinery cellar and the grape vine plantations are located on the south slope of Veliko Brdo, west from the wonderful town of Demir Kapija, in the vicinity of the E-75 motorway.
Demir Kapija valley covers the south part of the Tikves vineyard sub-region, which is part of the Povardarie region.
The oldest archaeological findings prove that people in this region have been growing vineyards and have been making wine since the 13 century B.C.
Demir Kapija region is characterized by excellent climatic and soil conditions for growing grape vines.
The kingdom of Aleksandar Karagjorgjevikj covered the territory of present Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia, including the Adriatic Sea coast and the Pannonian Plain. Hence, king Alexandar had numerous possibilities as to selection of locations for planting grape vines all over his kingdom.
However, following the recommendations of his wise counselors, he made the right decision and selected the micro-region of Demir Kapija as an ideal location for his vine plantations. This is the same place where our vinery cellar is located.
After lunch, we are organizing a visit to a green market for buying the necessary ingredients.
